Custom Lockers — Built in Surrey, BC

Lockers Built Like Heirloom Furniture.

Most lockers are something you bolt to a wall and forget. Ours are something you walk past every morning and feel a little better about. Built one at a time in our Surrey shop — same hands, same patience, same standards we bring to a kitchen or a heritage restoration.

Why custom?

A locker is just a small cabinet with a job to do.

That's how we think about it. A locker has to take a beating, lock up tight, and last twenty years — and there's no reason it can't look beautiful while it does. We build lockers out of real materials: solid hardwoods, baltic birch ply, powder-coated steel hardware, brass and bronze where it makes sense.

Off-the-shelf lockers are made for everyone, which means they're not really made for anyone. Yours will fit your space, your crew, your colours, your hardware, and the way your people actually use them.

Locker Styles We Love to Build.

Seven places to start. Every one of these gets adjusted to your space, your trade, and your taste. If you don't see what you're after, ask — we've probably built something close.

Teams & Sports Arenas

The Team Stall

Pro-stadium build quality at small-shop pace. Solid hardwood stalls with brass hardware, real ventilation, individual name plates, and hooks sized to the gear your sport actually uses. The locker room is the first thing your athletes see when they walk in — we build it like it matters. Built for arenas, clubhouses, training facilities, and any team that wants their room to feel like a championship is on the way.

Workplace

The Crew Locker

Built for the working day. Boots, jackets, lunch, hard hat, the kid's drawing taped to the inside of the door. Wood-fronted, steel-framed, and tough enough that nobody's replacing it any time soon. Sized to your team and stacked however your space needs them.

Gyms & Studios

The Athletic Locker

For gyms, dance studios, climbing walls, and yoga shops that don't want their changeroom looking like a high school in 1988. Vented, durable, and finished in tones that match your brand instead of fighting it. Open-bench versions available for the locker rooms with style.

Residential

The Mudroom Locker

One bay per kid — or per dog — with a bench, a bin for boots, hooks for everything that gets hung up wet, and a top shelf for the things you don't want them touching. Built into your entryway like it was always supposed to be there.

Schools & Daycares

The Schoolhouse Locker

Cubbies, coat hooks, name plates, and cheerful colours, built kid-tough. Rounded corners, no pinch points, and finishes that wipe clean after juice-box incidents. We've done these for daycares across the Lower Mainland and they hold up beautifully.

Heritage & Restoration

The Heritage Locker

Old hotels, fire halls, train stations, school gymnasiums — the kind of places where a brand-new locker would feel wrong. We rebuild what's salvageable and match what isn't, using period-appropriate hardware and finishes. Insurance-restoration-friendly.

Retail & Hospitality

The Front-of-House Locker

Lockers your customers actually see. Coat checks, boutique change rooms, hotel staff areas, restaurant cubbies. Finished to the same standard as the rest of your interior, not hidden behind a back wall apologizing for itself.

How we work

Four steps from conversation to install.

Conversation

You tell us where they're going, what they need to hold, and what you wish your last lockers had done. We listen. There's no charge for this part.

Design

We measure, sketch, and pick materials together. You see drawings before any wood gets cut. Nothing is locked in until you're happy with it.

Build

Built in our Surrey shop. Five sets of hands, no production line, no flat-pack shortcuts. We'll send progress photos so you can watch them come together.

Install

We deliver and install across the Lower Mainland. Levelled, secured, and tuned up — doors swing the way they should, locks click clean, and we don't leave until you've opened every one.

A note from the shop

Before cabinets, there were guitars.

Richard spent twenty years building custom electrics for rock musicians — including a full recreation of Brian May's Red Special (the guitar May built with his father from a fireplace mantel) and a run of Van Halen Frankenstrat tributes for collectors who cared deeply about getting it right. The kind of work where one wrong cut means starting over with a piece of wood that took fifty years to grow. That ear for grain, joinery, and finish didn't go anywhere when he switched to cabinets. It's in every locker we build. You'll feel it the first time you close the door.
